Description
This historical thriller is set in 1895, when turn-of-the-century Paris is as chaotic as it is glamorous, with industry and invention bringing both great wealth and terrible poverty. One autumn morning, an anarchist boards the Granville-to-Paris express, determined to make her mark on history. Among the other passengers are railway workers who have built a life together away from their wives, a little boy travelling alone for the first time, an artist far from home, a wealthy statesman and his invalid wife, and a young woman with a secret hidden beneath her dress. As the train races towards the City of Light, all their fates become entwined. Inspired by a famous rail disaster, this gripping novel evokes an era not so different from our own.
